I love this watch and have waited awhile to purchase it due to not being able to try on at a local retailer. I have a fairly small wrist (6"inches) so the face is a perfect size (not too big, not too small). I removed 1 star for two reasons. #1: I expected the mother of pearl to have more blue in it (like the online photos suggest); #2 The steel bracelet was scuffed more than likely during the customizing of the band sizing. Not a deal-breaker as I'm probably the only one who will notice but disappointing as this is not a cheap watch. To whomever might read this: Please slow down and take care during the sizing process. Gifts are special and should be in pristine condition upon arrival.
Beautiful, but a bit too small of a face. Even for a women's watch.
My husband paid for the L Mae watch as a 30th anniversary gift to me after our cruise to Alaska. It replaced the Citizen my 3 sons gave me in 2000. I know it will serve me well for many years. I love the diamond at the 8:00 point and the special look of the winding stem. The eco feature means no more running to the battery store once a year. It is both elegant and efficient.
My husband won this watch in an Army Air Force Exchange Service Sweepstakes. It is a wonderful watch. I never heard of an Eco Drive. Until getting this watch. So glad I never have to change batteries with this watch. It is so beautiful. Just the right size for my small wrist. Wish I had one years ago. I could have saved so much money on batteries over the years & gasoline going to the watch repair shop.
